MBC every1 said in a press release on Friday that its documentary program "Star: The Secret" will feature photographs of the hunky movie star from his childhood days.

The photos to be disclosed include an elementary school graduation picture of Jung as well as pictures from a middle school picnic. Producers also hinted at revealing an anecdote behind the star and his friend's graduation picture looking exactly the same.

The actor is currently in Shanghai, filming a John Woo-directed movie with Chinese actress Michelle Yeoh. The film, tentatively titled "Rain of Swords in the Martial Arts World", is scheduled for release in late 2010.

The episode of "Star" featuring Jung will be aired at midnight on Friday.
